Mission of the ND HIV Advisory Board
The mission of the North Dakota HIV Advisory Board (NDHAB) is to provide representative community feedback on HIV-related programs, services, plans and events of the NDHHS. This board is intended to represent the vast communities impacted by HIV/AIDS in North Dakota, including but not limited to members who represent diverse ages, gender identities, races/ethnicities, sexual orientations, HIV status, and experience or expertise. The board looks to:
- Advise the NDHHS on how the department can plan and implement services and interventions that address the HIV epidemic in and for all communities
- Provide a community voice in decisions NDHHS makes about current and future services
- Offer feedback on how well NDHHS works with members of the community in consideration of the needs of the jurisdiction
If you are interested in participating, please read the Greeting Letter by the NDHAB Facilitator, Jason Grueneich, and visit shinebrightlandive.org for more information about how to get involved.

The 2027 - 2031 North Dakota Integrated HIV Prevention and Care plan provides a roadmap for North Dakota to address HIV. It highlights strategies and activities for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and response to HIV, aswell as cross-cutting strategies that will address broad areas of concern identified during the planning process. Improving education, reducing stigma, focusing on priority populations, and developing new and stronger relationships are integrated across all areas of the plan.
This plan was developed over a year-long period, utilizing extensive collaboration and community input. State-level boards comprised of priority populations were involved in planning at every step, and their iterative involvement in the plan allowed course correction and ensured the plan would align with a variety of priority populations’ concerns and interests. Of particular importance, the North Dakota HIV Prevention and Care Advisory Board (NDHPCAB) actively participated with the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop the plan. The guidance of the NDHPCAB was central to plan development.
